Led by the safety car AMG GT, they did two laps, and that time was enough for Matthew to deal with the car parked by the roadside. At this point, there are 10 laps left until the end of the race. Soon, after two laps, the safety car withdraws, and the race is about to restart. Qin Miao didn’t hold back any cars; holding back cars is usually due to concern about the drivers behind, hoping to gain a greater advantage during the starting phase with this strategy, but Qin Miao himself is stronger than all F2 drivers in terms of personal ability. At this time, there was simply no need to hold back cars, and after the safety car entered the pits, it was full throttle, running normally. And the race had just restarted for a short while. On the thirty-first lap, position T7, Mick, who had been maintaining third, made a mistake due to tire temperature issues and rushed out of the track, causing his position to drop crazily, and his podium was suddenly gone. When he got back on the track, he was already out of the points zone. Seeing this scene, the smile on Roxin’s face, originally as calm as the spring breeze, suddenly froze. And Frankie beside him wanted to secretly laugh at this, but because Roxin and Mick’s race engineer were right beside him, he forcibly held back, but if you observe carefully, you would notice his mouth was twitching upwards uncontrollably. Though belonging to the same team, the two groups within the team are in a competitive relationship. Seeing his rival in misfortune, Frankie, who belongs to Qin Miao’s group, naturally finds it schadenfreude. Qin Miao was unaware of this, as even with the yellow flag shown, Qin Miao ran through that section long ago, and he couldn’t see it. The rest of the race went into cruising mode, and because there were only 9 laps to go, Qin Miao didn’t save tires anymore, so after two laps, Qin Miao had already built a two-second gap from the car behind. Then Qin Miao kept leading until the end of the race. On the fortieth lap, just as Qin Miao entered T8, members of the Prema team belonging to Qin Miao’s group had already excitedly crossed the pits lane and climbed onto the fence by the barrier. After climbing onto the barrier, they excitedly waved their fists towards the speeding Qin Miao, loudly celebrating. Seeing this scene, Qin Miao only belatedly realized he had won the championship, thus securing his first F2 victory... It seems a bit simple... Despite having all sorts of thoughts in his head, Qin Miao still controlled his racing car to rush past near the fence, not forgetting to reach out to greet his group members amidst the process. Meanwhile, Roxin also had a smile on his face, but compared to Frankie and others, Roxin’s happiness was certainly halved. It’s unavoidable, since Prema could have brought back double cars in one and third positions, now there’s only the champion left... No matter who becomes the team leader, it’s hard to completely let loose to celebrate. In the Five-Star Sports live broadcast room: After Qin Miao crossed the finish line, Bing loudly exclaimed, "Let us congratulate the Chinese driver Qin Miao, who in his first appearance on the F2 track, has won the F2 championship in the main race stage!" "At the same time, Qin Miao also created a new record in Chinese racing history, as he is the first Chinese driver to win the championship upon his first entry into the F2 stage, and simultaneously, the first Chinese driver to win the F2 main race championship." "The surprises Qin Miao brought us are indeed numerous: stable and fast driving style, seasoned defensive mindset, and that astonishing long-distance tire preservation capability." "I still can’t figure out how he managed to run 29 laps on those soft tires." "Indeed, even typical F1 drivers don’t have such strong tire preservation capabilities as he does." At this moment, the director also switches the footage to the race site, where Qin Miao is driving the car doing the victory lap. On the video screen, there’s a close-up of Qin Miao’s red car, and the director thoughtfully paused the camera on the red five-star red flag on Qin Miao’s car for two seconds. Soon, a TR screen representing the communication between Qin Miao and the team track engineer appears on the right side of the screen. "Well done, Qin Miao! You are P1!" Frankie’s somewhat excited voice reaches everyone watching this race. "I got it, haha, everyone did well, the car setup was to my liking." Qin Miao also responded with a smile, but with a sense that something is missing the passion that young people should have. "Awesome! Qin! Awesome!" Frankie said this sentence in Chinese, and it reached many people’s ears. Qin Miao was noticeably taken aback upon hearing it, then smiled and replied, "You guys are awesome too." Over at Five-Star Sports, upon hearing the "awesome" transmitted from the TR, the three commentators exchanged glances. Goodness, what did Qin Miao actually teach his team members privately! Meanwhile, even though the car still had some issues, Zhou Guanyu, who still insisted on finishing the race, curiously asked in the team TR after the race ended, "Where’s Qin Miao? What’s his result?" The team quickly replied to him, "Qin P1, Ilott P2, Armstrong P3." After confirming Qin Miao took first place, Zhou Guanyu’s feeling of frustration from missing the opportunity to stand on the podium with Qin Miao due to car problems also dissipated somewhat. It is worth mentioning that today’s race’s three drivers who climbed the podium all came from the Ferrari driver academy. Driving all the way to the start grid position, this position had already been adorned with signboards representing the rankings of champion, runner-up, and third place, Qin Miao parked his car under the sign representing champion. After parking, shutting off the engine, Qin Miao removed his steering wheel from the car and unplugged the headset connected to the car. After handling these, Qin Miao then stood up from his position. The cameraman was filming Qin Miao at this moment, but unlike those drivers who were extremely thrilled after winning and stood to celebrate on the car. In this race, Qin Miao was genuinely happy when he started by overtaking Zhou Guanyu and helped Zhou block Ilott briefly, but for the rest of the race, Qin Miao seemed as flat as he appeared in the broadcast camera shots. Perhaps only during the crossing of the finish line was there a moment of excitement, after getting a little insight from Frankie about Zhou Guanyu’s position and situation, Qin Miao’s mindset quickly returned to calm. At this point, Qin Miao’s mindset was somewhat like a CSGO professional player going down a notch into the smaller world segment and destroying a batch of lesser opponents. You would be happy the moment you win the match, but this happiness wouldn’t last long, because you know the difference in strength between the two sides is no longer on the same level. Thus, Qin Miao’s set of action sequences after getting out of the car was extremely calm; during the period, Qin Miao didn’t even celebrate, as if he wasn’t P1, but merely P2 or P3. After weighing, a box was dragged over beside Qin Miao’s car, with a Pirelli wreath champion cap placed on it, with F2 golden embroidery on the left side and 1st representing champion on the right side. Qin Miao didn’t go immediately to take his first main race champion cap, but instead handshake and congratulated each other with two other fellow drivers from the Ferrari driver academy. Privately, no matter how much you see the other side as a stranger, on camera, Qin Miao wouldn’t appear so solitary.
